Hello, and welcome to episode 153! This week, I am joined by Marie DeCosse, the founder and CEO of Nomad Travel Groups, which launched a week before this podcast episode's release. Read below for a description of what Nomad Travel Groups can offer.As founder Marie DeCosse sat with friends gazing at the tranquil waves ebbing from the coast of Saboga, Panama, a conversation unfolded about life's joys—relationships, freedom, and travel. This conversation sparked a realization: why work tirelessly only to savour such moments a few times a year?With a background in international tax and a passion for travel, Marie created NOMAD to transform conventional home and time-sharing models."This generation was given an early taste of what work-life balance means. We've learned we don't need desk chains or lengthy commutes to succeed," says Marie. Recognizing a gap in the travel industry, NOMAD was born—a home-sharing service that caters to a new breed of travellers seeking long-term stays without logistical headaches and monetary constraints. NOMAD simplifies travel by curating Travel Groups aligned with location and property preferences, fostering connections, and streamlining arrangements—all at an accessible price point. We are the accommodation solution for the modern-day traveller. Marie joined me to discuss everything with Nomad, and I asked every question I could think of to give the listener the best possible idea of this new business within the travel space. I also get to hear about Marie's upbringing in Madascagar and Bangladesh and the return culture shock of going back to the USA. Marie is half Senegalese, so we hear why that country is a must to visit, especially because of the people and food. We hear about Marie's dream place in Europe to be located in the future, her challenges with setting up a new business, why being Senegalese culture is her favourite, and so much more!It's a super exciting product and a great conversation. Episode blog - https://www.wingingittravelpodcast.com/episodes/nomad-travel-groups-the-home-exchange-platform-designed-for-everyonePlease check out Nomad Travel Groups and Marie's details below. Nomad Travel GroupsWebsite - https://wetravelnomad.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wetravelnomad/?igsh=aTQ3b3Vmc3BlMTR2TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@wetravelnomad?_t=8lyaQRmOHlP&_r=1LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/nomad-travel-groups/Marie DeCoseeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariedecosse/Patreon Shout-OutThanks to Laura Hammond for supporting this podcast.
